LD39 — Running out of Power

Pipe Trek by quill18 2017-07-31T04:45:01Z

This is really fun. Got up to Admiral on medium difficulty. Immediately died as an Ensign on Blorg difficulty. Life support failed. That's really a failing on the crew, not engineering. I had phasers up the whole time!

Neat little puzzle. I just wish there were more levels! Very nice.

Nations of Power by 5Mixer 2017-08-01T00:47:10Z

This was awesome. Took a second to get the hang of the controls and mechanics, but after that it was really fun. Archers seem a bit OP, but maybe I am missing something. I was doing great until everyone died.

Bolt World by Linus 2017-08-07T04:22:40Z

Pretty fun. The roll seems a bit out of place or too powerful.

Windup by kleinzach 2017-08-01T01:29:24Z

Fun game! The jumping was a little floaty, but I played with keyboard+mouse, so maybe a controller would have been better like suggested above. Loved the idea of a windup toy. Awesome graphics!

VIS by Hackingroelz 2017-08-01T00:23:27Z

Pretty cool. Don't see a lot of strategy games in LD. Took me a minute to figure out the mechanics, but after that it was pretty fun. I haven't managed to make it to turn 88 yet, though.

A clever take on the looming global energy crisis and climate change, I think.

Audio Hook (formerly Hook, Beat, & Keeper) by mrjoshuamclean 2017-08-01T23:03:42Z

Interesting game. I think there is supposed to be music, but I don't hear any? I hear the voice overs and sound effects, though, which are nice. The mechanic is neat.

The art is awesome. Feels great.

Battery Penetrates by ToadieTechnika 2017-08-01T02:50:13Z

Took me a bit to get the hang of the controls. Fun and funny game.

"don’t think about what you are playing." oh god...

no bullets by cpcrabs 2017-07-31T23:45:11Z

Pretty fun. The enemies are hard to kill. It is tempting to spam bullets at them, which will kill you faster. On the other hand, it is hard to time and place your shots with as many enemies as there are.

Compelling concept though. A high score system would be an awesome addition!

A Miner Inconvenience by Nick Rafalski 2017-08-03T00:13:25Z

I liked the look, and the dialog was well written. It sucked having to restart from level 1 every time you died. Some form of lives or healthbar or something to give you a second chance if you make a mistake (hitboxes on the lava can be deceiving).

Good job!

Power, MT by PhilStrahl 2017-08-01T00:09:43Z

This was great. I loved the mood the music set.

Crankship Courier by drprettypatty 2017-07-31T04:30:12Z

I love how the birds explode. This is, by far, the best game about a flying octopus I have ever played.

It is really hard. I haven't managed to take down Big Bird yet.

A Robot's Final Stand by Demandooda 2017-08-01T23:23:12Z

Pretty fun. I found the controls fairly intuitive. Good job!

The Political Juggle by Phlip45 2017-08-01T23:09:55Z

Awesome game! That spy near the end becomes impossible to hit haha!

Will Power by William Derksen 2017-08-01T02:40:26Z

Cool little game. More levels would be awesome, but there's only so much that can be done in a weekend. Falling off the end of the world at the end seems to screw things up?

Good job!

Escape from P.O.W.E.R. by Asado999 2017-08-01T00:14:57Z

I think the interpretation of the theme is perfect. The concept itself is hilarious. The controls felt a little weird, and like above I just spammed right until I beat the game.

Run Ning out of Power, Montana by jekstrom 2017-08-01T00:34:51Z

@omnipotentindie Thanks for the feedback! This was my first LD (and really the first game I've finished). I think you're right on the more enemies, but lower health.

The enemies don't really have "AI". They literally just track onto the player and shoot, heh. So it's no wonder they are predictable. Maybe next time it will be more sophisticated.

I am glad that it is fun though!

Run Ning out of Power, Montana by jekstrom 2017-08-03T00:02:33Z

@phlip45 Thanks for the feedback. I changed the link. It's unfortunate the controls become unresponsive. I do think it is something with the web port and right clicking or something. I have had it happen mostly when using a trackpad instead of a mouse. Not sure what the cause is.

Thanks for playing!

POWERBEAR by flarphengarg 2017-08-07T03:19:24Z

Cool simple game. I think if the difficulty ramped up it would be more interesting. Good game.

Paper Plane Simulator 2007 by PolyWolf 2017-08-01T22:47:55Z

Neat! I was able to break it by rotating the plan backwards and down at like a 30* angle. The physics felt pretty good for the plane. I was able to get it about 72 feet.

Falling Down by helpcomputer 2017-08-01T02:00:24Z

Interesting game. Had to give it a couple play-throughs but I couldn't get past the first election cycle. I think some more feedback on how the debate strategies and policies affected your approval would be a good addition. I like the concept, and it feels like there is a lot going on under the hood.

Current by erebus 2017-08-01T00:30:19Z

This is really cool. Have fun while learning the boolean logic gate symbols.
